It seems like the nude-in-public soft erotica [depends on your definition] genre came to Brno. The Brnensky denik daily recently reported a girl was seen all over Brno shooting nude photos.
From what I saw, it must have been very early spring because the trees aren’t green at all.

An unusual event took place on the Brno Dam today. Dragon Boats. Although the races themselves don’t take very long, they attracted dozens of thousands of people.

The Red Crayfish is the oldest pharmacy in Central Europe. It can be found in downtown Brno - but now it is closed and the historical grisaille glass ornaments that were fitted in the window frames are now gone.

I saw this unbelievably low flyby over downtown Brno today where I have never seen a 737 before as the planes land and take off way off the historical downtown… Any ideas what this might have been? Fellow spotters?

When staying in Brno for several days, it pays off to rent a bike and make bike trips around the Brno Dam. There are comfortable bike paths that lead not only to the Veveri Castle [here is my photo gallery], but also to nearby villages that might give the foreigners a hint on how some [...]
